STAR WARS Episode IX Director Defends HAN SOLO Movie

The director of Star Wars: Episode IX, Colin Trevorrow has come to the defense of troubled young Han Solo anthology film. The original directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord were fired from the project just four months into production citing creative differences. Lucasfilm has now brought in veteran director Ron Howard to helm the project and steer the Star Wars anthology in the right direction. In an interview with THR, Trevorrow commented on the recent director swap for the untitled Han Solo film, which saw directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller fired and replaced with Ron Howard. “Movies are very personal, and art is very personal, and for people to try to turn that into something that is salacious or something that will get clicks is frustrating and sad for me because I know that [movies] mean a lot to everyone involved,” he said. “And everybody involved in that movie is passionate about it and worked on it very hard and continues to work on it very hard.”
